API Description: Opicapone is a potent, reversible, and peripherally-acting third-generation inhibitor of catechol-o-methyltransferase (COMT), an enzyme involved in the breakdown of various catecholamines including dopamine. Many patients with Parkinson’s disease treated with levodopa plus a dopa decarboxylase (DDC) inhibitor (eg carbidopa) experience motor complications over time, which calls for the management of these symptoms through the use of a dopamine agonist, a monoamine oxidase B inhibitor (selegiline, rasagiline), a catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT) inhibitor, or amantadine, or using a modified-release formulation of levodopa.
